Age-Friendly Innovation Competition:

A groundbreaking feature of the IIIA conference was the Age-Friendly Innovation Competitions, during which a total of $40,000 USD was awarded to the winners of two contests; The Best Existing Age-Friendly Initiative Competitionand TheBest Future Vision of an Age-Friendly Initiative.

During the IIIA congress, a $3000 USD prize was awarded to recognize the best full paper presented at the congress. Amongst much tough competition and peer-reviewed scrutiny from our International Jury (as seen in the full program linked above), Dr. Freek Lapré from The Netherlands emerged as the winner. His paper entitled “Service Quality in Nursing Homes: A construct, measurement and performance model to increase client focus in nursing homes” was written with co-author Professor Gillian Wright and provides critical information on the quality of care in nursing homes, contributing tremendous and invaluable insight that is essential to growth and success in the aged care field.
